Translating the Holy Scriptures means rendering into another language the thoughts and sayings of Jehovah God, the heavenly Author of this sacred library of sixty-six books that holy men of long ago were inspired to write down for our benefit today. That is a very sobering thought. The translators of this work, who fear and love the Divine Author of the Holy Scriptures, feel toward Him a special responsibility to transmit his thoughts and declarations as accurately as possible. They also feel a responsibility toward the searching readers who depend upon a translation of the inspired Word of the Most High God for their everlasting salvation.

It was with such a sense of solemn responsibility that over the course of many years this committee of dedicated men have produced the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures. The entire work was originally released in six volumes, from 1950 to 1960.

From the start it was the desire of the translators to have all these volumes brought together into one book, inasmuch as the Holy Scriptures are in actuality one book by the One Author. While the original volumes contained marginal references and footnotes, the revised one-volume edition, released in 1961, contained neither footnotes nor marginal references.

A second revision was released in 1970 and a third revision with footnotes followed in 1971. In 1969 the committee released The Kingdom Interlinear Translation of the Greek Scriptures, which presented under the Greek text revised by Westcott and Hort (1948 Reprint) a literal word-for-word translation into English.

During the past 34 years the New World Translation has been translated in part or in its entirety into ten other languages, with a total printing and distribution surpassing 39 million. This new edition is not just a refinement of the translated text beyond its already previous revisions, but it has been expanded to include a complete updating and revision of the marginal (cross) references that were initially presented in English, from 1950 to 1960. This 1984 revision has been released by us to the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania for printing, translation into other leading languages and distribution. We thus make it available with a deep sense of gratitude to the Divine Author of the Holy Scriptures, who has so privileged us and in whose spirit we have trusted in producing this revision.

We pray for his blessing upon those who use this translation for spiritual advancement. New World Bible Translation Committee June 1, 1984, New York, N.Y. I am an 11 year old girl.

Part 1: The Old Testament This consists of myths mostly copied from the myths of other primitive cultures. The original versions of these stories had many gods, but these had been edited out for the most part in an effort to rewrite history by people who were embarrassed by their polytheistic past. I think this is a shame since the polytheistic stories are more entertaining. The main god who made the cut was 'Jehovah' or 'Yahweh' who in the original versions was the character of the God of War. This character like similar god characters is jealous and cruel. He delights in death and has no problem with genocide. One part that makes these stories hard to read is that women basically had about as much rights as animals, and the characters were not at all bothered by the death of women.

Part 2: The New Testament This section is mostly about one main character - a half-human demigod who claims to be the son of the god of war from part 1. These stories were written by a few different authors agree very little on the actual details of the story.

This demigod character shares some of his father's traits, but is much milder tempered. I think the worst attribute he shares with his father is his racism. He would only share his message of salvation with people of his own nation (Jews). He felt that people from other nations were beneath him. But after he died, a man who had not previously met him came along and decided to make a franchise out of this demigod story, and he spread it to non-Jews (claiming that the ghost of the demigod told him this was OK).

Part 2 is not nearly as gruesome as part one, but the stories aren't very entertaining either. Mostly squabbles between the demigod's followers. The only highlight is the trial and execution of the main character and subsequent zombie invasion of the city (this part is sadly glossed over for the most part).

And there's some apparently drug induced hallucinations at the end which have disturbing imagery, but no substance. I find it funny that most people who love this book, and there are many, have never actually read it. Having an old fart tell you what a book is about does not count as reading it.

This is one of the most readable translations of the Holy Bible for the modern reader. It's also one of the more accurately translated versions of the Bible; accurate to the point of being the version most likely to offend the sort of Christian who prefers traditional errancy to accuracy.

By the same cause, it's also the version least likely to offend Muslims, and a number Muslim authors prefer it when quoting the Tawrat, Nabi, Injeel, and Rasule.

By the same cause, it's also the version least likely to offend Muslims, and a number Muslim authors prefer it when quoting the Tawrat, Nabi, Injeel, and Rasule. On this point, a number of modern translations reject the spurious trinitarian text in 1 John 5:7,8.

However, rejecting an eisegesic rendering in John 1:1 is more rare. Most translators translate John 1:1 under the pressure of a long tradition of eisegesis, and from churches who will not use their translation of the Bible if they translate correctly; in some cases, translaters have been seduced by circular reasoning to actually believe that belief justifies eisegesis, as if 'Jesus is God, so John must have meant that Jesus is God'. However, when this verse is translated with accurate knowledge of ancient Greek grammar - which had no indefinite article - since this sentence used the definite article with both instances of 'word', but only with the instance of 'god' stating with whom the Word is, it is clear that John wrote that the Word is 'a god', 'godlike', 'in god's form', or 'divine', rather than 'God' In the original language, the instance of 'God' with whom the Word was, is τὸν θεόν (ton The‧on′), or 'the god' in English, indicating God Almighty, or the Father. In contrast, the instance of 'God' whom the Word was, is θεὸς (the‧os′), which word has no definite article, and according to correct grammar, the definite article cannot accompany this word, because its meaning is qualitative, rather than identifying. Therefore, it cannot mean, 'the god', or God Almighty'. However, possibly the best-known controversy about the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures, (NWT), is the restoration of God's name within the Christian scriptures as well as in the Hebrew scriptures. People who knowingly use versions of the Bible in which more than 6800 instances of God's name are paraphrased as 'the Lord' or 'God', seem offended that others use a version of the Bible in which they believe 237 instances of the word, 'Lord' have been paraphrased as God's name.

These 237 instances are those in which the Christian scriptures are recognized to quote from passages of the Hebrew scriptures that contain God's name. Fragments of the Septuagint closest in age to the time of Jesus' ministry still contained the name, in the form of the Tetragrammaton.

According to David Bauscher, translator of the Aramaic Bible in Plain English, these instances coincide with his finding of God's name in manuscripts of the Peshitta, (he found 239 instances). To translate the Tetragrammaton, NWT uses the same spelling, Jehovah, as found in earlier translations. Regardless whether this is the most accurate transliteration of God's name, it was the only accepted spelling in the English language when the NWT was translated. When Israelites spoke Hebrew, they pronounced God's name, יהוה, with three syllables, and later, after Bablylonian exile, and spoke Aramaic, they pronounced it with two syllables. A shorter version of God's name, יה, used in Psalms and Isaiah, is one syllable.

As much as Israel and Judah did that offended God, He never complained about this! Jehovah, as we pronounce it, is an English mispronunciation of a Germanic transliteration of God's Hebrew name. Yahweh is a newer English transliteration of the Aramaic translation of God's Hebrew name, from which one syllable went missing.

Both are second-hand and imperfect, but considering that God allowed His name to be written with as few as one syllable in the Bible, who are we to criticize anyone who who spells or pronounces His name with one more or less syllables than we?

(NWT) is a translation of the Bible published by the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society in 1961; it is used and distributed by Jehovah's Witnesses.4 Though it is not the first Bible to be published by the group, it is their first original translation of ancient Classical Hebrew, Koine Greek, and Old Aramaic biblical texts. As of November 2015, the Watch Tower Society has published 208 million copies of the New World Translation in whole or in part in more than 130 languages. History Until the release of the NWT, in English-speaking countries primarily used the King James Version.89 According to the publishers, one of the main reasons for producing a new translation was that most Bible versions in common use, including the Authorized Version (King James), employed archaic language. The stated intention was to produce a fresh translation, free of archaisms.10 Additionally, over the centuries since the King James Version was produced, more copies of earlier manuscripts of the original texts in the Hebrew and Greek languages have become available. The publishers claimed better manuscript evidence had made it possible to determine with greater accuracy what the original writers intended, particularly in more obscure passages. They said linguists better understood certain aspects of the original Hebrew and Greek languages than previously.11. Very interesting, I was interested to note the following: '.

Unitarian theologian Charles Francis Potter stated about the NWT: 'Apart from a few semantic peculiarities like translating the Greek word stauros, as 'stake' instead of 'cross', and the often startling use of the colloquial and.' 'Semantic peculiarities'.I think that we know where these peculiarities come from. Strong's Concordance stauros: an upright stake, hence a cross (the Rom. Instrument of crucifixion). Hence a cross!!! Why????.obviously, to fit false teachings and man made doctrines. Vines Complete Expository Dictionary of Old and New Testament Words says: 'STAUROS.denotes, primarily, an upright pale or stake.

The Classic Greek Dictionary, Greek-English and English-Greek, With an Appendix of Proper and Geographical Names prepared by George Ricker Berry reads under 'stauros': '. An upright pale, stake or pole; According to a Greek-English lexicon by Liddell and Scott, this word means 'Wood cut and ready for use, firewood, timber, etc. Piece of wood, log, beam, post. Cudgel, club.

Stake on which criminals were impaled. Of live wood, tree.' ' Hence in the Authorized Version/King James Version this word is rendered as 'tree' at Acts 5:30.

The Complete Jewish Bible by D. Stern has here 'stake.' See also Acts 13:29; Galatians 3:13; 1 Peter 2:24. A Critical Lexicon and Concordance to the English and Greek New Testament, p819.

E.W.Bullinger states: 'Used herecross for the stauros on which Jesus was crucified. Both wordsstauros, xylondisagree with the modern idea of a cross, with which we have become familiarized by pictures. The stauros was simply an upright pale or stake to which the Romans nailed those who were thus said to be crucified. Stauroothe verb, merely to drive stakes.

It never means two pieces of wood joining each other at any angle. Even the Latin word crux means a mere stake.' Et al.probably handy to know at this particular time of the year.

I am of the unusual opinion that if you are going to ban Jehovah's Witness activity is Russia, then it is a good thing, not a bad thing, to also ban the New World Translation and seize the branch headquarters building. Each drags in people who might not otherwise care. Human rights people protest when Witness activity is banned, but it is partly offset by: 'well, they ARE a pain and they DO call unannounced at inconvenient times. But when you ban the Bible - even ringleader Dvorkin thought that was going too far. It plainly is a Bible; he doesn't like it, but it plainly is one.

His country looks like a nation of goons. He is as if to say: 'we cut them off from U.S. Organizational and monitory support. That's enough.

Break both their legs and they will die! You don't ban the Bible as well, which only make us look like a country where Fred Flintstone is chief.

I say ban it for exactly that reason. The academic community couldn't believe it. The Russian expert witness to the Court, an ex-JW, has an education that 'doesn't correspond to anything' (mathematics degree) and she just 'copies any sort of nonsense off the internet.' She had the court harrumphing that it doesn't say 'Bible' on the cover, but 'Sacred Scriptures,' also that it said Hebrew and Greek Scriptures instead of Old and New Testament. She had them perturbed over its use of the name Jehovah, and then it was pointed out the Russian Orthodox version also uses the name. They got concerned that the Jehovah's Witness Bible doesn't support the Trinity and our people showed them that the Russian Orthodox translation also doesn't support it. The Court is plodding about in matters of which it is completely ignorant, Dvorkin fumed, and it shows painfully.

Let the record reflect that. The decision regarding the branch headquarters draws in the potentially much more influential business community. Said the Witness representative: 'Of course, we will appeal this decision.

It is based on nothing, except the desire of the prosecutor's office to simply seize the property. We did not hear a single legal argument.

This is expropriation. Russia encourages foreign business to invest in the country, but what investments can be made if the property is not protected and can be seized at any time?' I say it is a good thing for them to seize the building. It cannot serve its intended function anyway.

Let it serve its new purpose of calling attention to lawlessness. One Russian news source opined they will ultimately give it back accompanied by huge financial damage penalties.

Witnesses will take the matter to the ECHR and also, since the Watchtower Society is American-based, 'the American one,' whatever that means. If you are going to go unjust, do it big time and make sure everyone knows.

The Governing Body saw to it that the initial trial was videotaped in the largest venue possible. That video is widely available. At one point the Russian judge asked the Ministry of Justice whether it had prepared for the trial, so unsupported was their case. In the end, he did what he knew he had to do if he wanted to keep his job, but his interaction with them clearly exposed a sham system, which was repeated at the appeal, repeated again at the trial over the Bible, and again at the hearing to confiscate the branch headquarters.

And it was repeated in the case in the imprisonment without trial of Dennis Christensen, the first Witness jailed post-ban, and a Danish citizen. The Ministry of Justice insists he is a dangerous criminal. His last religious act was to preside over a typical Bible study at the Kingdom Hall.

His last non-religious act was to build a playground (he is a carpenter) for the children. His second-to-last non-religious act was to take part in a public park cleanup for which the congregation received a certificate of appreciation from the town officials. A lot of people don't like Jehovah's Witnesses - they are a hot-button topic in several ways. But they do know that rule by law and even common sense is a good thing, not a bad thing and when they see it so arbitrarily violated, they get more worked up than they would over Witnesses themselves. Trial of Bible ends VYBORG COURT RULES JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES' BIBLE IS EXTREMIST LITERATURE Jehovah's Witnesses in Russia, 17 August 2017 Judge Dmitry Yurievich Grishin of the Vyborg city court, a kandidat of jurisprudence and former chairman of the department of civil law of the A.S. Pushkin Leningrad University, announced his decision: to grant the petition of the Leningrad-Finland transport prosecutor; to find 'Sacred Scripture—New World Translation' extremist material; to find the brochures 'The Bible and it Main Subject,' 'Science instead of the Bible?' And 'How to Improve Health.

Five Simple Rules' to be extremist materials; to confiscate the batch of the aforesaid literature. The court's decision has not taken effect and it may be appealed within thirty days. By PDS, posted 17 August 2017) Also JW.ORG: News Alerts BREAKING NEWS Russian Court Bans New World Translation On August 17, 2017, the Vyborg City Court in Russia ruled to ban the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (NWT). In Russia, it is illegal to ban a Bible. However, a court-appointed “expert study” claimed that the NWT is not a Bible. The decision to ban the NWT came even after the powerful testimony of experts and the fine argumentation of our brothers, proving undeniably that the NWT is a Bible. In spite of such obvious discrimination, Jehovah’s Witnesses worldwide take comfort from Isaiah 40:8, “the word of our God endures forever.” We are appealing the decision.

Yes our obedience to our almighty heavenly father is definitely an individual thing but why associate with an organisation that holds highly God's name, yet uses a hybrid name 'Jehovah' which is made using the Tetragrammaton and then inserting vowel points using the vowels of Adonai? This was popularised around the 1200's by a Catholic monk Raymundus Martini.

Imagine God's name was Tony and then every stopped using it and then 1500 years later they forgot his name but knew it had the letters TNY. They then inserted a,o,i and get the name Tanoyi - a totally different name.

We know that no vowel points were made known to us and therefore it is a made up name. The army and over 50 religions use that same name. If God's name is so holy why just guess what his name is? The Christian Greek scriptures do not even contain the divine name. Run a search on 'Jehovah' in the Kingdom Interlinear Translation on the JW Library app and you will find it comes back with '0' occurrences.

Yet the Watchtower takes it upon themselves to take away and add to what was already established in Koine Greek the original. We know God's name ie his love, reputation, nature, power, plan ect is what was and is still important. YHWH was the name he made known to his covenanted people back then. So it seems that if he wanted that name to be known with the new covenant then he would have made it known all the way down today.

It is no secret that the New World Translation Translation uses Johannes Greber to back up doctrine in the NWT. Johannes Greber was a Catholic priest turned spiritist who translated the New Testament with the help of God’s “spirits.” He used his wife, who was a spirit-medium, to channel spirits to help translate difficult verses in the bible.

His experiences with spirits and their communications with him are related in his book Communication with the Spirit World, published in 1932. Wouldn't he be considered to be apostate!? The Word A translation by a former Roman Catholic Priest, Johannes Greber, and (1937 edition) renders the second appearance of the word “god” in the sentence as “a god.” – Aid to Bible Understanding 1971, p. 1669 'Keep testing whether you are in the faith' Agape Love John 8:32 'Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.'
